Chuck?

posted by Dakota on Jun 1

Team and supporters: I am writing this as I sit in the Miami airport after completing the first leg of my journey. I have good news to share: Correspondent LB is not missing in action as we had thought. He fell out of contact to keep from revealing his identity, and did not have an opportunity to text us the code. It seems that LB, while making his usual rounds, spotted comedian Billy Crystal in the airport and (feeling it was an opportunity not to be missed) bought a first class plane ticket to track Mr. Crystal to his final destination. The AA airline employee issuing the ticket, a Mission supporter herself, placed LB in the seat right next to Mr. Crystal.

Apparently Mr. Crystal (after having consumed numerous cocktails) put on quite a show for the elite AA patrons—pointedly arguing for the superiority of first class passengers over their business and coach class brethren.

Now, could we not say that Chuck Norris is to the regular man as the first class passenger is to the coach class passenger? Based on the evidence provided, isn’t it plausible that this was a true sighting? That Chuck-Norris-as-Billy-Crystal knew of LB’s identity and performed this comedic sketch just to toy with us? Your thoughts?
